Th«  copy  filmed  here  has  been  reproduced  thanks 
to  the  generosity  of: 

National  Library  of  Canada 

The  images  appearing  here  are  the  best  quality 
possible  considering  the  condition  and  legibility 
of  the  original  copy  and  in  keeping  with  the 
filming  contract  specifications. 


Original  copies  in  printed  paper  covers  are  filmed 
beginning  with  the  front  cover  and  ending  on 
the  last  page  with  a  printed  or  illustrated  impres- 
sion, or  the  back  cover  when  appropriate.  All 
other  original  copies  are  filmed  beginning  on  the 
first  page  with  a  printed  or  illustrated  Impres- 
sion, and  ending  on  the  last  page  with  a  printed 
or  illustrated  impression. 


The  last  recorded  frame  on  each  microfiche 
shall  contain  the  symbol  — ^  (meening  "CON- 
TINUED"), or  the  symbol  V  (meaning  "END"), 
whichever  applies. 

Maps,  plates,  charts,  etc.,  may  be  filmed  at 
different  reduction  ratios.  Those  too  large  to  be 
entirely  included  in  one  exposure  arc  filmed 
beginning  in  the  upper  left  hand  corner,  left  to 
right  and  top  to  bottom,  as  many  frames  as 
required.  The  following  diagrams  illustrate  the 
method:

beyond  an  impartial  invtsiiKation.  and  wit!.  i,cTfei:t  eon- 
rnlente  awaits   the  r       it. 

The  sul)M<|ii,.,it   history  of  the  system  has  justified 
the  conhdeiue  expressed   at   tliat   time.     C.regj^  Shori- 
liand  has  denionstraK  d  its  siifK-rioritv  to  the  older  sys-

to-day  nearly  a  million  writers  of  the  svstem.     In  he- 
gmmmr  the  preparaii       (,f  this  edition  it  was  mv  inten- 
tion  to  make  some  .      ical  changes  in  the  manner  (.f

he  a  ..  .-'ake  to   ;.  part  materially  from  the  general  plan 
and  fc    ,;  of  the  jirevious  edition.     No  better  evidence 
ot   the  popularity  and  success  of  the  previous  edition 
could  be  gixen  than  the  fact  that,  although  nearly  a 
million  copies  of  it  have  been  sold,  there  has  been  very 
httle   demand    for    revision  except  recpiests  for  the  in- 
clusion of  those  changes  and  improNements  that  have 
been  made  m  the  course  of  the  past  few  years.

PREFACE

11. 


This  edition,  then,  retains  the  general  plan  and  form 
of  the  previous  edition,  but  much  of  the  material  con- 
tained in  it  is  arranged  in  more  logical  sequence,  and  the 
illustrations  are  chosen  with  greater  care,  with  a  view  to 
developing  quickness  in  the  application  of  its  rules  and 
I)rinciples.  An  attem{)t  has  been  made  to  state  some  of 
the  rules  more  clearly  than  Wc  done  in  the  old  book, 
and  to  put  them  into  language  better  adapted  to  the 
comprehension  of  young  students. 

In  the  system  itself  few  changes  have  been  found 
necessary  or  desiral)le.  Some  new  word-signs  and  exten- 
sions of  ad\anced  principles  have  betn  introduced,  but 
all  of  these  are  in  harmony  with  the  fundamental  prin- 
ciples of  the  system.  All  of  them  ha\  -  l)een  subjected 
to  very  careful  trial  in  practical  work  before  they  have 
been  adopted. 

In  sending  forth  this  book  I  desire  to  express  my 
heartfelt  appreciation  of  the  suggestions  that  have  come 
to  me  fr(jm  writers,  from  reporters  and  from  teachers 
who  are  using  the  s>stem  in  all  parts  of  the  world. 
These  suggestions  have  l)een  of  great  service  to  me  in 
the  preparation  of  this  presentation  of  the  system. 

JOHN  ROBERT  GREGG. 

Xew  York,  June  17,   1V16. 


About  Gregg  Shorthand 

HisTukv.— Gregg  Sliorthand  was  first  publisliwi  in  1888,  in  two 
little  [xiper-covered  pampiilets,  under  the  title,  "Light-Line  Phono- 
graphy." Five  years  later  a  revised  and  greatly  improved  edition 
was  published  under  the  title,  "Gregg  Shorthand."  It  was  not  until 
lcS<^,  however,  that  the  author  was  able  to  publish  the  system  in 
book  form. 

There  are  few  more  interesting  or  inspiring  stories  of  success 
than  the  career  of  (Iregg  Shorthand  in  the  years  that  have  elapsed 
since  its  publication  in  book  form.  To-day  Gregg  Shorthand  is  the 
standard  shorthand  system  of  America.  It  is  taught  in  more  than 
seven  thousand  five  hundred  schools— that  is  to  sav,  in  more  than 
eighty-five  per  cent  of  the  schools  that  teach  shorthand.  It  has 
been  adopted  in  the  public  .schools  of  .5900  cities  and  towns,  and  has 
superseded  the  older  systems  in  a  large  number  of  these  cities  by 
formal  action  of  Boards  of  Kducatiun. 

Wins  World's  Ch.a.mpionship.— In  the   1Q21   contest  of  the 
National  Shorthand  Reporters'  Asscciation,  Mr.  Albert  Schneider, 
a    writer   of  Gregg   Shorthand,    "on    the    workl's    championship,' 
defeating  the  largest  number  of  writers  to  participate  in  one  of 
these  contests   among   them    three    former   champions.      In    the 
championship  tests,  consisting  of  dictations  for  five  minutes  each 
at  200  words  a  minute  literary  matter,  240  words  a  minute  jury 
charge,  and  280  words  a  minute  testimony,  he  made  an  average 
percentage  of  97.94.     Only  one  other  contestant  qualitied.     .Mr. 
S(  hneider  also  transcribed   the  literary  matter  dictations  at   215 
and   175  words  a  minute  and  established  new  world   records  on 
both  of  these,  tying  with  .Mr.  Willard  B.  Bottome,  an  official  reporter 
of  the  Supreme  Court  of  .New  ^'ork  City,  on  the  1 75  with  three  errors. 
In  the  215  dictation  he  made  the  highest  net  speed  ever  allaitied  in 
any  contest  at  any  speed  on  matter  of  this  kind~-2\\.2  words  a  minute. 
The  extraordinary  legilnlity  of  Mr.  Schneider's  notes  was  shown  by 
the  fact  that  he  transcriber!  five  of  the  highest  speed  dictations  in 
the  time   allotted    for   the   three   championship   dictations.      Mr.

Pi  ntiples  or-  thk  SvsxEM.-Needless  to  .s^iy,  Gregg  Shorthand 
IS  a  radical  departure  from  the  old  lines  of  shorthand  construction 
for  It  IS  only  by  a  radical  departure  that  such  marke.l  superiority 
in  results  can  be  accomplished.

of  tlie  system  iia\e  estaMislicfl  the  highest  official  ivnrld's  records 
for  accura(y  of  transcripts  on  solid,  difficult  matter.  These  records 
were  made  in  comijctition  with  e\i)erienccd  reporters  who  used  the 
older  s\slems,  and  in  contests  conducted  by  reporters  and  teachers 
who  wrote  such  systems.  (Full  particulars  of  these  contests  will 
be  sent  by  the  jjublishers  on  application.)  Manifestly,  the  insertion 
of  the  vowels,  the  absence  of  shading',  the  elimination  of  position- 
writiny:  and  the  elimination  of  the  minute  distii.clions  of  form  neces- 
Siiry  in  the  old  systems,  all  contribute  to  legibilitv. 

Easv  to  Wkiti:.  —  The  e.isy,  natural  ai)pearance  of  the  writing 
in  r.rc'L^.t;  Shorthand  ai)peals  to  every  impartial  investigator.  The 
ai)sen(e  of  distinctions  between  light  and  hcavv  characters,  the 
continuous  run  of  the  writing  along  one  line,  as  in  longhand,  instead 
of  constant  ch.mges  of  i)o>ition — now  on  the  line,  then  above  the 
line,  and  then,  [jerii.ips,  throitj^h  or  behni<  the  line— will  be  noticed 
at  a  first  glance.  Next,  the  in\('stigator  will  probably  attribute 
much  of  the  natural,  i)Ieasing  appearance  of  the  writing  to  that 
uni'  rm  slant  of  liie  writing,  with  which  both  hand  and  ey-  are 
familiar.  Only  those  who  have  had  jirevious  experience  with  short- 
hand, however,  wili  be  able  to  ajjpreciate  fully  how  much  elimination 
of  numerous  dots  and  dashes— minute  marks  that  ha\e  to  be  placed 
with  great  precision  alongside  the  strokes— contributes  to  easy, 
C(jntinuous,  elTortless  writiiig. 

Si  i-EkioK  i\  SiT.Fi)  l'«)sMi!ii,rrii:s.— Writers  of  T.regg  Short- 
hand have  demonstrated  in  i)ul)lic  speed  contests,  under  the  most 
tr\iiig  conditions,  tliat  the  system  has  gr(\  ler  speed  possibilities 
than  any  other  system.  A  boy  of  nineteen  (who  began  the  study 
of  C.regg  Sii,)rt;,aiid  in  a  night  .school  less  than  four  years  previously) 
established  a  record  of  208  words  a  minute  net  for  five  minutes, 
defeating  i  hree  former  champions  and  eighteen  other  e\|>crienced  and 
capable  report cis.  The  contest  committee  consisted  of  seven 
shorthand  reporters,  all  of  whom  were  writers  of  other  systems. 
When  a  mere  boy  can  do  this,  after  such  a  brief  exi)erience,  there 
can  be  no  cpiestion  that  this  sxsicm  of  shorthand  possesses  greater 
speed  i)()ssiljilities  liian  an>-  of  the  older  systems.

FIRST  LESSON 


1.  Shorthand  is  written  by  sound;  thus  aim  is  written 
am  (long  sound  of  a),  cat  is  written  kat,  knee  is  written  ne. 

Consonants 

2.  The  alphabet  should  be  mastered  in  sections,  as 
given  in  these  lessons.  It  will  be  noticed  that  the  con- 
sonants are  arranged  in  pairs,  according  to  their  affinity 
of  sound,  and  are  distinguished  by  a  difference  in  length. 
There  is  no  absolute  standard  as  to  length,  as  the  char- 
acters, being  founded  on  ordinary  writing,  vary  in  size, 
slant,  etc.,  according  to  the  personal  habits  of  the  writer. 
The  size  of  the  characters  given  in  this  manual  will  be  a 
safe  standard  to  adopt.  The  characters  for  the  conso- 
nants in  this  lesson  are  derived  from  an  elliptical  figure, 
thus: 


R 


L 


N 


M 


D      H 


/ 


Note.:  All  these  characters  are  written  forward  from  left  to  risht,  and  T,  D 
struck  up:varils  from  the  line  of  writing.  The  C,  given  in  tiiis  lesson  is  calleii  say, 
being  the  hard  sound  as  in  game,  get,  and  not  tlie  soft  sound  heard  in  gem, 
magic.  The  aspirate  H  is  indicated  by  a  dot  placed  over  the  vowel.  The  student 
shouiu  practice  ail  liiese  characters  until  he  can  write  them  without  the  slightest 
hesitation.

Vowels 

3.  In  writing  by  souml  there  are  twelve  distinct  vowels, 
which  are  arranged  in  four  groups,  and  three  closely 
related  sounds  are  placed  in  each  group.  In  this  lesson 
we  have  the  first  two  groups,  which  for  convenience  are 
named  the  "A"  group  and  the  "H"  group. 

4.  The  short  sound  of  a,  as  heard  in  cat,  ran,  is  ex- 
pressed by  the  large  circle;  the  medium  sound,  as  heard 
in  calm,  ark,  is  expressed  by  the  large  circle  with  a  dot 
beneath  the  circle;  the  /o//.;'  sound,  as  heard  in  ate,  may, 
is  expressed  by  the  large  circle  with  a  dash  beneath  the 

circle.

5.  The  short  sound  of  /.  as  heard  in  din,  rid  (not  the 
long  sound  '  "  /,  heard  in  dine,  ride),  is  expressed  by  the 
smaM  circle;  the  scjund  of  e,  as  heard  in  gc/,  net,  is  ex- 
pressed by  the  small  circle  with  a  dot  beneath  the  circle; 
the  Jon'^  sound  of  e,  as  heard  in  me,  eat,  is  expressed  by 
the  small  circle  with  a  dash  beneath  the  circle.

9.  The  following  list  of  words  should  now  be  cciied. 
In  doinj;  this,  particular  attention  must  be  paid  ti  the 
sounds  of  each  word.  If  the  student  will  repeat  the 
sounds  as  he  writes  the  word,  it  will  help  to  impress 
the  forms  upon  his  memory  and  at  the  same  time 
familiarize  him  with  the  process  of  note-takiuij.

Simple  Word-Signs 

10.  A  large  proportion  of  all  written  and  spoken 
language  is  made  up  of  a  few  simple  words.  For  such 
words  brief  forms  called  word-signs  are  pro\  ided.  Those 
given  here  should  be  memorized  immediately:

Phrase-Writing 

11.  The  joining  of  simple  words  is  a  great  help  to  speed 
in  writing  sliorthand,  but  it  is  a  difticult  art  to  ac(|uire 
if  its  ac(]uirement  be  deferred  until  the  habit  has  been 
formixl  of  writing  common  words  separately.  The  stu- 
dent should,  therefore,  practice  it  diligently  from  the 
very  beginning  of  his  study.  For  such  practice  the 
simple  phrases  here  given  will  serve  as  models:

Punctuation,  Etc. 


12.  The  period  is  expressed  by  -v.,  the  end  of  a  para- 
graph by  >,  the  dash  by=,  the  hyphen  by  <^  (two  short 
dashes  struck  upward),  and  the  interrogation  by  >^ . 
Capitals  and  proper  names  may  be  indicated  by  two 
short  dashes  under  the  outHne.  The  parentheses  may  be 
expressed  by  the  ordinary  marks  wiili  short  dashes 
throutjh  them -^  ^.  Other  punctuation  marks  are 
written  in  the  usual  way.

SEVENTH   LESSON 


Blended  Consonants 
49.  When  two  straight  lines  form  an  obtuse  or  blunt 
.mgle,  the  natural  tendency  of  the   hand  is  to  "slur" 
the  angle  and  allow   the  lines  to   form  a  curve,  thus- 


The  characters  have  been  so  arranged  that  many  fre- 
quent combinations  form  an  obtuse  angle,  and  this  angle 
not  being  observed,  the  lines  blend  naturally  in  the 
form  of  a  curve. 


50.  Ail  of  the  following  blended  consonants  are  writ- 
ten upwards  from  the  line  of  writing: 
TEX,  DF.N  /-"^

The  Abbreviating  Principle 

6'7.  Many  long  words  may  be  abbrcxiatcd  l)y  dropping 
the  terminations.  It  would  be  a  waste  of  time  and  effort 
to  write  more  of  a  word  than  is  necessary  to  suggest  it 
when  transcribing.  This  principle  is  alreatly  familiar 
in  longhand,  as  Rrd.  for  Rroerend,  ans.  for  answer,  Jan. 
for  Jatiuary,  Phila.  for  Philadelphia,  etc. 

The  extent  to  which  the  principle  may  be  applied 
depends  upon  the  familiarity  of  the  writer  with  the  words 
and  subject  matter.  Every  writer  can  apply  it  easily 
and  naturally  to  familiar  words,  and  adapt  it  to  the 
special  requirements  of  the  line  of  work  in  which  he  may 
be  engaged. 

The  words  given  in  this  lesson  are  among  the  most 
common  and  useful  illustrations  of  the  application  of 
this  principle.  When  these  have  been  studied,  it  will  be 
easy  to  apply  the  principle  in  general  practice,  l^any 
of  the  words  given  in  subsequent  lesscais  are  abbreviated 
in  this  way.  It  is  important  to  bear  in  mind  that  all 
the  words  so  abbreviated  will  usually  occur  in  sentences. 
For  instance  in  the  sentence  "  He  was  received  with  great 
enthusiasm,"  it  would  be  sufficient  to  write  enthus  for 
enthusiasm;  and  the  same  form  might  be  used  for  enthusi- 
astic in  "He  met  with  a  most  enthusiastic  reception."

Phrase-Writing 

72.  The  student  should  cultivate  the  practice  of  join- 
ing small  words,  for  without  it  great  proficiency  can 
nevt-T  be  attained.  All  the  common  phrases  consistmg 
of  two  or  three  words  should  be  written  with  the  same 
facility  as  an  ordinary  word-form,  but  nothing  is  gained 
by  straining  after  special  forms  for  uncommon  i>hrases, 
or  where  the  outline  requires  more  than  five  efforts  of 
the  pen.  While  experience  must  ever  be  the  supreme 
teacher  in  phrase-writing,  the  following  suggestions  will 
be  useful. 

{a)  At  the  outset  short  and  (oitiinon  words  only  should  be  joined. 
(?))  The  words  should   make  good  sense  if  standing  alone,  as 
I  am  iilad. 

(c)  The  outlines  for  the  word-;  should  W  capable  of  being  easily 
joined. 

(d)  Phrases  that  carry  the  hand  away  from  the  line  of  writing 
should  be  avoided;  in  other  words,  ilic  writer  should  aim  at  onward 
movement. 

(e)  Pronouns  arc  generally  joined  to  tlie  word--  they  precede,  as 
/  am,  J  shall,  you  can,  'd'e  have. 

(J)  ..  (iualifvin<<  word  may  be  joined  to  the  word  it  qualifies,  as 
flood  men. 

(g)  The  prepositions  to,  of,  in  and  with.   ait.i  the  conjunction  and 

70 


ELEVEXTH  LESSON 


71 


are  generally  joined  lo  the  words  they  precede,  as  to  have,  of  which, 
in  case,  with  this,  and  there. 

(//)  The  air;iliar>'  verbs  should,  would,  could  arc  generally  joined 
to  the  words  ihe>-  [)rc(etle,  us  should  be,  would  be,  could  he. 

In  practicing  the  plirases  given  in  this  manual,  the 
student  should  keep  steadily  in  mind  that  they  are  given 
as  exarr.ples,  and  that  he  is  to  form  his  own  phrases  on 
similar  lines  in  general  practice.  He  should  study  the 
phrases  here  given  with  a  view  of  noting  not  only  the 
nature  of  the  joinings,  hut  also  the  nature  of  the  words 
that  are  joined.

151.  Intersection.  The  expedient  known  as  inter- 
section,  or  the  writing  of  one  character  throu.^^h  another 
IS  sometimes  useful  for  special  phrases.  In  applvine 
this  expedient  the  writer  must  rely  verv  largely  upon 
his  own  judgment.  In  his  daily  work  as  stenographer 
or  reporter,  he  may  find  some  terms  peculiar  to  the  busi- 
ness in  which  he  is  engaged  occurring  so  frequently 
that  special  forms  may  be  adopted  for  them  which  will 
be  brief  and  yet  absolutely  distinctixe.  Very  often  the 
mtersection  of  one  character  through  another  will  meet 
the  exigenc>-.     The  following  are  useful  examples-

context  to  initials.  They  should  therefore  be  written 
with  iniusual  care.  Many  writers  prefer  to  write  initials 
in  longhaiul,  and  if  this  is  done  a  great  saving  in  time  may 
be  efTected  by  writing  them  in  small  letters  u..d  joining
